The Open Circle began in 2004 in the East Bay, and since then has hosted over 500 events with some of the most respected spiritual teachers in the world, almost all of which have been offered by donation.

We now host events in various Centers around the extended bay area, as well as live Online events available worldwide.

Open Circle is a non profit organization dedicated to making these teachings of wisdom and compassion easily available.

The Santa Cruz center is re-organizing.Stay tuned for upcoming events to be posted here!

About Open Circle

The Open Circle is part of a new spiritual paradigm grounded in experiential awareness, rather than belief systems. We’re a non-sectarian community dedicated to supporting the practices of mindful and open hearted awareness, drawing inspiration from a variety of spiritual, psychological, and scientific traditions, which point to direct experience as a source of wisdom and love.
